Why choose it

The WA-5 not only warns you of water leaks but also automatically deactivates the connected appliance, preventing short circuits and further damage. Its 2-metre sensor cable lets you position the probe exactly where leaks are likely, while the loud alarm ensures you hear it even from another room.

Ideal use cases

• Basements and cellars with washing machines or water heaters
• Laundry rooms and utility areas
• Kitchens near dishwashers or sinks
• Bathrooms with potential overflow risks
• Server rooms and technical cabinets
• Boiler rooms and heating installations

Good to know

The WA-5 is a wired device, so no batteries or wireless configuration are needed. Simply plug it into a standard Schuko wall socket, connect your appliance, and place the sensor on the floor. The manual reset ensures you are aware of the incident before power is restored.
